EFFECTS OF DRAINAGE.
An Illinois Farmer Discusses the Relation
of Tile Draining to Drought

An Illinois Farmer Discusses the Relation
of Tile Draining to Drought
Touching the subject of the relation
OF tile draining to drought, think it
an .undenlable fact that the best corn
last year was upon land either some
what imperfectly drained or not
dained at all. provided in the latter
case there was no flooding by water
from adjacent lands On dry lands
the depressions produced the best I
found also excellent corn growing
over drains, owing partly. no doubt.
to the extra fertility of these spots.
But there is an important factor in the
case which should not be overlooked.
and which explains, think, the great
diversity of opinion on this interesting
subject.
The preceding fall. winser and
spring We're exceptionally dry. The
spring. especially, was dry and open,
with frequent freezings and thawings.
The low. undrained lands, usually
soggy with water in spring, were made
friable. and plowed up as mellow as
any tile-drained land. The rains be-
ing light all through the plow season,
this condition was not changed.
These lands being new''-that is,
having never produced much-re-
sponded to the new and favorable
conditions the same as tile-drained
land usually does. In fact, the
conditions were exactly the same,
and the results the same. with
balance this year in favor
of the undrained land, since all
the rain falling upon it was retained,
this amount being none too much. But
since year like the last is not likely
to occur again in a decade, if in GEN.
fury. it can furnish no argument
against drainage. On the contrary,
when all the facts are taken into con-
sideration, they furnish an argument
in its favor as showing the peculiar
plant growth, which can only be OBJ
tanned, as rule, on wet lands by tile
drainage.
AS to the cracking of the soil over
drains. I found, upon examination,
that it cracked also quite as much over
low spots undrained, but I imagine
that this. instead of being a damage
to the crop, is really a benefit, in al
lowing the rootlets to descend through
these cracks to moisture below.
had some corn. that to all appear
ance had not suffered from drouth at
all. growing on land imperfectly
drained. under which shallow tile
was laid. This land cracked as badly
as any / ever saw. but the size of the
corn, both in stalk and ear. was pro-
portionate TO the size of the cracks,
from which l infer that drainage has
little to do with this phenomenon of
cracking-that tho cause must be
sought in the action of intense heat
upon soil of peculiar character and
condition. Cor. Country Gentleman.

Mont Blanc Ascensions.

Up 10 1884 Mont Blanc was ascend
ed only seventeen times, after that
year more frequently, and now ascents
are of common occurrence. This sum-
mer, the highest point of Mont Blanc
was reached by two Russian ladies.
the sisters Gortchakoff; they made
the ascent in twenty hours. The ladies.
who were accompanied by two guides,
were enthusiastically received on
their return to Chamouniz, and al
most buried in flowers. Among the
l. 032 persons who. up to the present
year, have scaled Mont Blanc, there
are few other instances of ladies
having successfully made the ascent.
Englishmen are most largely repre-
scented in the crowd who have success
fully assembled the mountain. Since
Saussure's ascent. many routes have
been discovered by which the summit
may be reached much more easily and
more quickly.-M I. Post.

CHRONIC DYSPEPSIA.
Why Indigestion Does Not Necessarily
Have It's Seat in the Stomach.

Why Indigestion Does Not Necessarily
Have It's Seat in the Stomach.
Acute pepsia-sometimes i'm
properly called "bilious attack" or
gastric fever"-is often distressing
disorder, but it is soon and readily re-
lieved. Indigestion due to organic
disease of the stomach does not strict
ly come under the head of dyspepsia.
Chronic dyspepsia is functional. not
an organic, disorder. If the eye could
look within the stomach, in the latter
case, it would see no explain at ion of
the trouble, as in the case of organic
disease.
At least five kinds of fluids cooper
ate in the digestive process-saliva,
gastric juice. bile. pancreatic fluid and
intestinal secretions. Indigestion,
therefore. does not necessarily have
its seat in the stomach.
b. Two forms of it are especially rec
ognized-gastric Chat of the stomach)
and intestinal. Each form has two
promin ent varieties: one in which the
food is really digested, while the per-
son as a great sense of discomfort;
the other. in which the food is not
duly digested, while the person has
comparatively little suffering. In the
first variety there is an abnormal ex-
citability of the nerves of sensation.
This is known as nervous dyspepsia.
The more common causes of dys-
pepsia are excuses in eating. neg
lect of physical exercise, protracted
anxiety, change from an active to
sedentary life. insufficient sleep, lux
urious living.
No treatment can here be prescribed
suited to individual cases. The chief
thing is to find out and remove the
cause. An overworked stomach should
be relieved by giving it only the work
which it can do easily, and by furnish.
ing to it only that which is easily di-
gested. Every thing should be done
to improve the general health. Change
of locality and general surroundings
is often a help.
Dyspepsia is rare among the young.
There is with them surplus of VII
tally. Moreover, their physical ac-
tivity. outdoor habits and absence of
care are generally a sufficient safe
guard. Where child or young per-
son is dyspeptic, the cause may be inn
proper eating-some are necessarily
at it-or insufficient sleep. or undue
pressure at school, and an accompany
ing daily nervous anxiety about les
sons. Or the trouble may be due to
inherited weakness of digestion, or a
weakness resulting from some early
disease. In every case the best medical
advice should be called in. Youths

ABOUT WOOD-WOOL.
New Nucleus for the Manufacture of
This Interesting Product.

A New Nucleus for the Manufacture OF
This Interesting Product.
For some time past there has been
found in the market a very interesting
product, consisting of extremely thin
and slender shavings of wood that are
comparable to paper cut for packing,
and that go by the name of wood
wool" This product was first intro
duced into France as a packing mate
rial 1t weighs about forty or fifty per
cent. less than the materials generally
used for such purpose. Its beautiful
appearance, its firmness and its ex-
treme cleanliness at once brought it
into favor with shippers.
1t was afterward found that the ma
teriai was we'll adapted for the manu-
facture of mattresses, tor bedding for
cattle. for the filtration of liquids, and
for stuffing horse-coll ars, ETC.. the
most suitable species of wood being
selected for these purposes. Its elias
ITCHY causes it TO be considered as the
best material for bedding. after horse
hair. and it is even preferable to any
other substance when it is derived
from resinous wood, since it does not
absorb moisture.
In workshops. wood-wool is tending
to replace cotton waste for cleaning
machines, and it has likewise found an
application on the rolling-stock of rail-
ways for lubricating car axles. While
it has the same property that cotton
waste has. of absorbing oil. it costs
ten times less than that material
All these advantages explain why
the use of it. which is so extensive in
America, is rapidly becoming general
in Austria and Germany, and is be-
ginning 10 extend in France.
A new machine for the manufacture
of this interesting product consists of
a cast-iron frame resting upon three
supports of the same material, and
carrying driving shaft. which is act
uated by two pulleys, fast and loose.
To this shaft Is fitted fly-wheel. one
of the spokes of which is provided
with pin that receives one of the
extremities of the connecting rod.
while the other extremity of the same
is connected with the knife carrier.
This latter. which also rests upon the
iron frame. slides on iron guards and
carries set of peculiar knives az
